Darrell Brooks trial: Brooks upset over judge's ruilings

After some words between Judge Dorow and Darrell Brooks about Brooks’ desire to enter “evidence into the record,” Dorow orders a 5-minute break. “That opportunity has closed for you sir,” the judge told him. She said if Brooks brings up subject matter jurisdiction during jury instructions, he’ll be sent to the room next door. Brooks is representing himself in his trial for allegedly driving an SUV into the Waukesha Christmas parade in 2021, killing six people and injuring others.

You have the right to defend yourself. But don't blame the judge if you don't know what you're doing.

Oh, no!
The guy kills 6 and injures 61, but he had to sit in a holding cell for an
How

Don't think of it as "going to prison, " Mr Brooks, think of it as "moving to a gated community."

“IF THERE IS A CONVICTION” boy go lay down in your cell for 32 thousand years!!! 😂

He wanted to break the judge, so that they would have to start over with a new judge or declare a mistrial. She stood her ground and held her composure. Congrats to her!!!

"Your objection is noted. It is not based in fact or law."
-literally the entire trial.

“Your objection is noted. It’s baseless in law and fact.” 😂

The more Brooks tries to act like a lawyer, the more hilarious he gets.

This man is the world’s oldest five year old.

He UNDERSTANDS COMPLETELY…..He’s just saying he doesn’t understand to STALL the Court…..He is Desperate to have it seem as if he didn’t get a true trial….He has Proven he has a Horrible Temper and the night of the Christmas parade he drove through killed six injured 64 and didn’t give a damn all due to his anger….

[janetdavenport]

The only thing he needs to understand is he's going to prison. Period

“Hey look at me. I’m not Darrel brooks and I’m a sovereign citizen yet I want constitutional laws to apply to me even though I don’t consider myself a citizen” 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[mikehawk]

Imagine how much shit this guy has given society the years.

[mdtqooh]

This is what happens when you can't/don't hold someone accountable for anything for 40 years.

[dnwitte]

I shared an apartment with an intelligent version of this for two years. It aged me ten years and sent me into therapy for ptsd. Narcissists are pure evil.

[franktripodi]

Clearly Brooks came to a gunfight with an oven mitt..

[michaelmusich]

To all those who complain about the judge letting him ramble is doing what she needs to do to (1) give him every reasonable opportunity to present his defense and (2) make as much of a record as she can to limit the chance of any conviction being overturned on appeal. Yes, it takes time and resources. But she is simply doing her job. I think she has done what she needs to do.

[royrayburn]

He wanted to play lawyer, then wants the judge to hold his hand and walk him through the court proceedings. You can not have it both ways.

[reghunt]

He chooses to defend himself but he's not a lawyer, now complains he doesn't understand the process. When you're convinced you're a genius, then find out how things are in the real world that you're not ready for. 😅 😂 🤣
